Healesville Toy Library

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who runs the library?

We are a non-profit organization run by a voluntary committee with support from our members and their families. We are always in need of new committee members. From each new committee member, we gain new ideas and a fresh look into what can be improved. We are not a council or government organisation or a private company. We are a group of parents and grandparents working together to benefit our children. The library is run by the members and a volunteer committee, who looks after the day-to-day running of the library.


What happens if we lose a piece to a toy?

Hopefully it turns up after a few weeks, but if not and the toy becomes unusable, we will negotiate a solution depending upon the age of the toy and if this is a repeating event!


What happens if my child breaks a toy?

You may be charged the replacement cost. Every toy has a different cost. This will depend upon the age of the toy and there will be some flexibility.


How many toys may I hire?

You can hire up to 4 toys and 2 puzzles  out at a time. The maximum checkout for any set of toys is  28 days.


Can my children stay and play in The Toy Library?

Yes! Your children are welcome to “stay and play” in the play area when you come to check out toys.
